A Comprehensive Understanding of Mental Health Risk and Associated Factors Following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury in Adolescents 1185

Monday, October 27, 2025
4:45 PM - 5:45 PM  
Location:  ROOM: Astoria Room >>> DIRECTIONS: Third Floor >>> From the Main Elevator Bank, proceed left toward the Williford and Waldorf Rooms. Astoria is located beyond the Waldorf along the south corridor.
Many of the physical, neurocognitive, and mental health sequelae (depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), headaches, fatigue, poor concentration) outcomes following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) go unrecognized and untreated, further contributing to functional impairments. Based on a mixed methods research study, attendees will learn about mental health diagnosis patterns following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in adolescents along with associated risk and protective factors, and their potential clinical implications. Factors such as sex, population density, social disadvantage, history of mental health disorders, age, resource access, and emotional and social support have been identified as significant and influential. This knowledge can be used to inform screening and referral practices for adolescents following mTBI. 

Learning Objectives:

  • Upon completion, participants will be able to list the top 5 most common mental health diagnoses that arise or worsen following mTBI in adolescents.
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to describe the 3 most influential risk and protective factors associated with mTBI in adolescents.
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to discuss the potential clinical implications of these patterns and factors.
